Module: Enumerable::Argumentable

Defined in:
lib/standard/facets/enumargs.rb

Overview

This is a simple reimplementation of the core Enumerable module to allow its methods to take and pass-on arbitrary arguments to the underlying #each call. This library uses Enumerator and scans Enumerable so it can alwasy stay in sync.

NOTE: Any Enumerable method with a negative arity cannot pass arguments due to ambiguity in the argument count. So the methods #inject and #zip do NOT work this way, but simply work as they do in Enumerable. However, The methods #find and #detect have been made modified to work by removing its rarely used optional parameter and providing instead an optional keyword parameter (:ifnone => …). Please keep these difference in mind.

Example

require 'enumargs'

class T
  include Enumerable::Argumentable
  def initialize(arr)
    @arr = arr
  end
  def each(n)
    arr.each{ |e| yield(e+n) }
  end
end

t = T.new([1,2,3])
t.collect(4)
#=> [5,6,7]

    # this branch is used when the method has a variable number of arguments
    #   resulting in an arity of -1.  Right now this is bugged as it does
    #   not pass the argument to the each, and always passes the argument
    #   to the method.  This makes methods like .min amdn .max to act
    #   in an unexpected manner.

Instance Method Details

#find(*args, &yld) ⇒ Object Also known as: detect

Make exception for #find (a negative arity method) to accept keyword argument.

ObjectSpace.find(Class, :ifnone=>lambda{1}) { |e| ... }
ObjectSpace.find(Class, :ifnone=>lambda{1}) { |e| ... }
